[David Shaner LeBauer]

Hi all,

At our next meeting, Dr. Nathalie Risso, Assistant Professor in the
Department of Mining and Geological Engineering will present and lead a
discussion on

*"Drones in mining applications: Challenges and opportunities"*

*Abstract: *Drone technology has gained relevance in the critical minerals
industry as a mean to provide save and automatic surveying both for open
pit and underground operations. The use of this technology carries great
promise for exploration, monitoring, and safety, however several challenges
associated with technology, methods and education remain. This presentation
briefly reviews recent drone applications and ongoing challenges in the
minerals industry.

*Discussion topics:* Dr. Nathalie Risso would like to discuss some of the
common challenges associated with drone technology with an emphasis in
underground mining applications, as well as opportunities associated with
the use of this technology to attract more students and underrepresented
minorities into STEM disciplines.

*Bio:* Nathalie Risso is an Assistant Professor Mining and Geological
Engineering Department at The University of Arizona. She received the B.S.
degree in Electronics engineering from Universidad de Concepcion, and the
M.S. and Ph.D degrees in Electrical and Computer engineering from the
University of Arizona. Her research interests include Cyber-physical
systems, Renewable Energy, and Machine Learning. Prof. Risso is a strong
advocate for diversity and inclusion, leading several associated
initiatives in STEM related fields.

Hope to see you there!
